above for IAP districts and population of 500 or more in general area and population of 250<br />
or more in schedule area for non-IAP districts.<br />
Project Identification and Selection<br />
A core network of <strong>roads</strong> has been prepared for each district in consultation with<br />
Panchayati Raj Institutions at the block level and approved by the ZillaParishad at the district<br />
level. The projects those are taken up under PMGSY are identified from the core network in<br />

Preparation of Detailed Project Report<br />
Detail Project Reports (DPRs) are prepared by Project Implementation Units (PIU)<br />
headed by the Executive Engineers of Rural Works Divisions at district level. The DPRs are<br />
scrutinized by the State Technical Agencies (STAs) namely the College of Engineering and<br />
Technology, Bhubaneswar, University College of Engineering, Burla, National Institute of<br />
